Broken lami custom rod
Was out last night with toaster throwing riggies and eel bobs when my rod decided to explode right near my head, sounded like a gun shot!
the rod broke about 3" below the ferrule, which Ive never seen, Ive had one other rod break on me, around the top section between the 3rd or 4th guide.
the riggies where well within the weight range for the rod.
anyone know what the waranty is from lami on a blank?
I looked on there website and called customer service and just waiting to hear back, but my luck with customer service lately has been less than adequete.
thinking that from wetsuit fishing and swimming with rod maybe it got nicked or something or had a small stress facture. Luckily I landed one nice high teen fish before it exploded, then sat on the rocks and watched toaster land some nice fish, I played fish wrangler for him.
The rod has served me well and caught a lot of fish and sees a lot of hard abuse.
The builder has since moved well out of the state of RI and is next to impossible to contact.
it was bound to happen in a matter of time with the amount of use and abuse it sees.
Bummer but grabbing a new surf stick tomorrow
